Jacksonville, FL Solid Waste CON Closure / Post-Closure Bond
Overview
Solid waste facility operators in Jacksonville, FL who hold a Certificate of Need (CON) face long-term obligations that extend beyond the active life of a facility — and this bond secures those obligations. Closing a solid waste facility correctly, and maintaining post-closure care for years afterward, costs real money, and Jacksonville requires financial assurance that those costs will be covered. This Solid Waste CON Closure / Post-Closure Bond is that assurance, guaranteeing that the environment and the public are protected even after the gates close. If closure and post-closure obligations go unmet, the bond stands behind the cost of completing them.
Who Needs This Bond?
Operators holding a Certificate of Need for a solid waste facility in Jacksonville, FL are the principals on this bond. If you run a landfill, transfer station, or other regulated solid waste facility under a CON issued within Jacksonville's jurisdiction, you are required to demonstrate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care. This bond satisfies that requirement by putting a surety's financial backing behind your legal obligation to properly close the facility and maintain it through the post-closure period. Without it, your CON operating authority is not in compliance with Jacksonville's solid waste program requirements.
What is this Bond For?
Closing a solid waste facility is not a one-time event — it is a regulated process that includes capping, grading, erosion control, leachate management, groundwater monitoring, and ongoing site maintenance for years after the last load of waste is received. This bond guarantees that if the facility operator fails to perform required closure activities or fund post-closure care, the surety will step in to cover those costs. Jacksonville and the public are the protected parties — the bond ensures that the environmental responsibilities tied to a solid waste CON do not simply disappear if an operator walks away or becomes insolvent.
When is it Required?
Demonstrating financial assurance for closure and post-closure obligations is a condition of holding and maintaining a solid waste Certificate of Need in Jacksonville, FL — meaning this bond must be in place before your facility is in full regulatory compliance. The bond must remain continuously in force throughout the active life of the facility and through the post-closure care period required by Jacksonville's solid waste program. Renewing, transferring, or modifying a CON will typically trigger a review of your financial assurance documentation, and a lapsed or insufficient bond can put your operating authority at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively to solid waste facilities operating under a Certificate of Need within the City of Jacksonville, Florida. It is a local compliance requirement tied to Jacksonville's solid waste regulatory program — it does not cover facilities in other Florida counties or municipalities. All obligations, enforcement, and claims under this bond flow through Jacksonville's regulatory authority over CON-governed solid waste operations.
